The when, the where, the how it’s done.

The Kohl’s Logistics network supplies our stores nationwide with all the goods necessary to achieve our annual sales. The network is designed to achieve our operating principles of a) speed to store, b) shipment accuracy and c) 100% order fill rate.

Managing the flow of goods from thousands of vendors to thousands of stores through our distribution centers (DCs) requires attention to detail and clear, concise communication. Our domestic and import supply channels require Logistics Associates to have deep knowledge of local and foreign transportation networks, customs requirements, DC operations management, planning optimization and software, and vendor relations management.

The Kohl’s Logistics group supports the Merchandise Allocation and Planning group to ensure that goods arrive on time and as ordered to the stores in each region of the country. We also support and work with Store Operations to identify and implement innovative options for store delivery and local market assortments.

Departmental responsibilities include:

• International Transportation – managing importation with vendors from various areas
• Domestic Transportation – inbound to DC and store delivery, planning systems and new store openings
• Vendor Services – vendor requirements, packaging, compliance and floor ready requirements
• Distribution Operations – network strategy, field operations and engineering
• Administering the Kohl's new store process
• Developing and implementing improved store systems
